  Father	Archibald McLemore,   b. Between 1759 and 1762, Southampton County, Virginia d. Between 1820 and 1830, Sampson County, North Carolina (Age ~ 61 years)
  Mother	??? ???,   b. Aft 1754   d. Yes, date unknown
  Marriage	Abt 1783
  	Archibald McLemore of Duplin/Sampson County, NC was NOT married to Sarah PLUMLEY/PLUMEE as is sometimes shown. It was actually a younger Archibald (a son of John McLemore, the Revolutionary Soldier), born 1787 in North Carolina and later moved to Knox County, Tennessee, who married Sarah Plumlee sometime before 1807, when their children were born. This was well after the birth of the four sons currently attributable to the elder Archibald McLemore of Duplin/Sampson County, NC. In addition to at least four sons born to Archibald and his unknown wife, Robert McLemore Butler also shows they had a daughter Susan, born ca 1770, and James McLemore, III shows a daughter, Lavinia (or Susannah), born ca 1790.
